“South Park” characters reopen a historic Colorado restaurant in new episode … but not the one you’re thinking

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 20:39:17 GMT

On the new episode of “South Park,” which aired Wednesday night, Cartman and Kenny decide to renovate and reopen a historic Colorado restaurant – “a place where people from all over Colorado would come and see!” Cartman gushes.The plot sounds a lot like what’s happening in the real lives of the show’s creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker, who purchased famed eatertainment venue Casa Bonita in 2021 and are on the precipice of its grand reopening in May.The episode, however, isn’t about Casa Bonita. Instead, Cartman has the genius idea to reimagine the place he and his mom have been living for several seasons now: The Coney Island Hotdog stand, based not so subtly on the sausage-and-bun-shaped Coney Island Boardwalk restaurant in Bailey.Last year, Stone and Parker told The Denver Post they had considered saving the Coney Island Boardwalk the same way they did Casa Bonita, but “we just can’t take on another broken restaurant project right now.”Still, that didn’t stop the duo from living...

Perine agreed the next day to a two-year deal worth up to $7.5 million and explained to The Post this week why he thought it was “the right time for me branch out and try to establish myself somewhere else,” after four seasons in Cincinnati.“What it came down to, really, was how up front Denver was with me as far as playing time and what Coach Payton wants to do with me, personally, and what he wants to do as an offense,” Perine said Thursday, adding he heard from several teams when he hit free agency. “The first time I talked with Coach Payton when everything opened up — that first day — the thing he really emphasize...

Important Conversations about Sex and Intimacy with Simone Farschi, Founder of The Pleasure Plus

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 20:39:17 GMT

In recent years, there has been an increase in societal conversations about sex education, gender expression and norms, body positivity, and consent. The internet and social media have democratized access to resources about topics previously considered taboo and inappropriate. This access has allowed individuals to educate themselves and learn from the experiences of others, opening up conversations about these issues. Younger generations have also played a significant role in driving these conversations forward as they are often more open and accepting of diverse gender and sexual identities.Despite the progress, an authentic and elevated conversation around sex education can still be challenging for many people due to prevailing norms and stigmas. Open conversations about the nuances of sex education are necessary to help demystify taboos, promote safety, and set the foundation for a healthy and fulfilling sex life. To this point, there is a growing movement of holistic sex and in...

You Can’t Enforce Away Legal Cannabis Problems

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 20:39:17 GMT

Cannabis operators have faced the short end of the stick time and time again in the legal marketplace, but leaning back on the Drug War tactics of prohibition is never the answer. The plague of operators who have never smoked heat in their lives bashing people who never got the shot they wanted in the marketplace continues to grow. Most of the time, the people taking these shots at the traditional underground market are well-funded operators. They use “enforcement of the law” as a catch-all phrase to narc on the streets from state to state. The lack of enforcement, as they see it, is the root of their headaches. This is regardless of their product quality. It’s a lot easier to blame someone else to your investors. Those who have been participating in cannabis markets the longest have become the target of that ire. In the worst circumstances, they’d try and convince you all the cannabis grown outside of the legal marketplace is loaded with pesticides that will kill you and sold to yo...

Dimness of BART station called a factor in fatal dragging of passenger

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 20:39:17 GMT

The dimness of BART’s Powell Street station was cited by investigators into the dragging death of a passenger after a train car’s doors closed on her dog’s leash.Though surveillance video confirmed the operator performed the required “look-back procedure” before the train left the San Francisco station, he did not see the passenger struggling with the railcar doors 611 feet behind him, said the report issued Feb. 28 by the National Transportation Safety Board.In the incident on Sept. 13, 2021, a 41-year-old San Francisco woman suffered fatal injuries when she was dragged along the platform and hit the gate at its end.The woman and her leashed dog had boarded the ninth of 10 cars of a Dublin-bound train at 3:13 p.m. The leash was clipped to her backpack. The woman then stepped back out of the car — witnesses said she was apparently waving to someone on the platform — and the dog remained inside.When the doors closed on the leash and the train...

Kurtenbach: Jordan Poole’s formula for success — less splash, more Shai

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 20:39:17 GMT

Jordan Poole’s season is not what anyone expected from the once-ascendant guard.As of Thursday morning, the so-called third member of the Splash Brothers is shooting 32.8 percent from beyond the arc on nearly eight such shots a game.Pair that with actively harmful defense and a propensity for bogarting the ball, and it’s a big problem for the Warriors as they attempt to make the playoffs and eventually advance in them.The positives might be fleeting with Poole, but Wednesday’s game against the Mavericks hinted at how the fourth-year guard can positively affect the contest, even if his shooting from distance remains sub-par.Poole needs less “Splash” and to be more Shai.That’s Shai, as in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Oklahoma City’s brilliant point guard who deserves serious MVP consideration this season.Related ArticlesGolden State Warriors | Kurtenbach: Jonathan Kuminga has arrived, and perhaps the Warriors have, too Golden State...

Man targeted by J6 conspiracists demands retraction from Fox

By Oliver Darcy and Marshall Cohen | CNNAn attorney for Ray Epps, the Arizona man that January 6 conspiracy theorists falsely claim led an FBI plot to orchestrate the insurrection, demanded an on-air retraction Thursday from Fox News and its right-wing talk host Tucker Carlson, and claimed they made “false and defamatory statements” about him.“The fanciful notions that Mr. Carlson advances on his show regarding Mr. Epps’s involvement in the January 6th insurrection are demonstrably (and already proven to be) false,” the attorney, Michael Teter, wrote in the letter. “And yet, Mr. Carlson persists with his assault on the truth.”The letter from Teter demanded a formal retraction and on-air apology “for the lies” that have been spread about Epps on the channel.In the aftermath of the January 6 attack on the US Capitol, conspiracy theorists baselessly suggested that the assault was a so-called “false flag” operation staged...
